Speaker 1

And I am your favorite ETHIOPIANSU solo. It's mostly better than that. My bad, It's all good. A joyous weekend. Was the joyous weekend? Did you have a good time? Guys? Were y'all heard these streets protecting you? I was. I was in the streets protecting myself. Why you gotta just start off wrong? I was saying, protecting yourselves as I was protecting my energy, right, and I was protecting my income. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, honey, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sunday brunch was amazing. We popped a lot of bottles, and you know, we hadn't released the news about our heart partnership. Yes, so I was secretly celebrating and nobody knew why, and I couldn't. I was fried on Sunday at brunch, y'all, So yes, yes, I was fried, y'all. Come see me Sunday brunch at Traffic Rory. It was good, regular weekend, just in the clubs doing a thing. I saw she could feed her, so that's dope. She's so. I was trying to tell the wife, I think she's

a little overweight. You can't really tell. Wait, wait, she's heavy. My two year old boy life. He is the perfect size. Hey, yeah, she's growing. She supposed that she's eating. She's I'm saying she's a little heavier than the normal two year old. The doctor told us that really she don't look fat. I know, That's what I'm trying to say. Are you trying to pick up and be like, oh lord, it's

the doctor Caucasian? Yes, all right, sus and say it's probably like a different weight standard know what I mean? Her favorite thing is right, I don't know. You know, our folks like we want to see baby stick. You know, we consider that healthy. I love my baby. I love my baby so usually others, you know, she gets out of real fast. That's what I'm trying to think. But go ahead. So how was your weekend? Did y'all eat all? Y'all? Y'all wanted to tad left was? I didn't have any

over on Sunday? You supposed to throw the left was out by Sunday, right, Yeah, Sunday Sunday sun Sunday Sunday game home show had me still got pies, left cakes. You know, No, I didn't touch the leftovers. I was over after the day after Thanks. I ate too many cakes that I am having issue. I don't know what happened to me. My foot swoll up I had but I had a home. But I literally had two much sweets.

I had an incredible day yesterday y'all went up to um Tennessee with some friends of mine and we had a whole little coom bay ya moment and it was so funny. All. So you know, obviously, um, um, if you're following on Instagram, I'm talking about the Uncle Nars distiller. But we went to the Jack Daniels grave, right, and we start our tour at the Jack Dangels Grave because

Jack Daniels a significant peace to the Uncle Niar's story. Um. And we were standing there and Lula Chris was literally like getting these weird vibes right now, mind you're weird dog, Watch this dog. I'm I'm gonna all the way blow your mind. Pause. So we basically starting the Jack Daniels Cemetery because we talked about Jack and you know his affiliates wont In. And across the way is the Black Cemetery because back in the day you had the White

Cemetery the Black Cemetery. So Chris is like, come on, and so I'm walking when I was like you good, He's like, dog, it's like I had this energy and I don't know what the energy is. I'm like, well, you're good. You want to go to this other side? You want to because you know and Doxy didn't get off the truck. She just don't do cemetary, you know what I'm saying. So a long story show, and he's like, I hope my energy changes by time we get over to the Uncle Nards from moral side, because that was

just heavy. Maybe it's just death, right, Okay, cool. We get over to the other side. He's like breathe, like like he could breathe. And I'm like, you're straight, like I'm literally over here, like and he starts welling up like yo, Kenny, like I feel calm now, I feel easy. I feel just that. In the third so phone came up. We had the whole conversation and afterwards he was still looking like shook and so Far I was like, it's wrong. He's like, far, I just wants you to know, like

over there, I was feeling crazy. He said. By the time I got over here, I felt balanced. And she's like I know why, And I'm like, like, I just got goose bump thinking, I'm like why I found Like why I she said, because the slave owner, Uncle Nears, is reportedly across the way from Jack, like right behind we were standing. That was so gray because he was dead. Asked about to like welling up in his eyes, the

whole thing. That's a little aggressive. We stage when we got man, we got We don't play around stuff like that. But but I'm just saying that's the power of energy, the power of energy and spiritual presence is is real. That was the highlight of my weekend outside of seeing my family. And now it's time for in case you missed it, ladies and gentlemen, one time for Queen and Slim. I just want to say, if you did not see Queen and Slim, Um, it's a very necessary movie. Take

your kids too. If you have teenage kids, have to take them to see Queen and Slim. And it's little things that I want to watch it again because I know I missed a couple of things here, and then you know sometimes when you see yeah, you don't get it all the way. Yeah, you'll catch something, but it's definitely a necessary movie to watch. You you have not seen, do I need you don't need. I just want a big shout to Lena. It's a really good movie. Waist

um and Malina, I was right, my salcus, salcus. If I said that, right, Molina, Lena, Congratulationship, you have a hit on your hands. But I want to ask the question. This was a conversation on Loser's Jet yesterday. Is it a classic? Now? When we say classic, we have some black classics, right. We have Boards in the Hood, Friday Love Jones, we have Friday, we have you know, we have a number. So we have a number of a number of amazing hits. The majority of them came out

of the nineties and early two thousands. I'm mnna say this, but yeah, but I'm just I want to know, Um, Rory, did you see it? I haven't seen it yet. The only one in comment at this point, do you borderline? I gotta see it again. I want to see it again. No, if it's a classic, you know you have I like my genre, movies are different. I like watch a superhero movie.

So I'm not I'm not a really big crip. But you know, a black classic when you see one, I think it will be considered a classic because it's really good. I agree with you and Sue to a certain point. But after having a conversation yesterday, something was made aware to me that, you know, what can you really with so much content today, so many movies, television things available to watch. I didn't get classic day one because I

come from those days of those classics, right. But at the same time, I feel like it's so necessary, definitely that it might become a class correct. So then let's let's define a classic is a classic something that people later on, decades down the line, people are like, hey, you have to watch this movie. Classic. I think a classic is um would be to like if you could

play it over and over and over again. Listen. I agree with Sue and I agree with you at the end of the day, like you have to be able to go, you know, in the future, go back like dog you ain't like right now to the day, I still tell people you ain't seeing purple right, you gotta see purple right nights. Yeah, people, so we're talking classics, but I feel it has classic potential. To your point, there is I feel like, you know, in some years from now. But the one thing I do think there

were two parts in the movie. I'm not gonna spoil it for you, or but there was one part in there that I was like, damn, that was a little too much for me with the little boy. No, no, no, no no, no, you gotta watch the movie. But it was a particular I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna say the story at all. I'm just gonna say it was a boy and a young boy in the movie

and then left so crazy. You're like, what, it's a it's a lot of I want to go back to your point and watch it because there maybe something else. That's why I want to watch it again, because I'm over here, like the point now what you're telling me, and I can't. I can't speak on it. We don't want to spoil because I definitely I guarantee you guys put something in the ball A group chat about it though,

yeah you know. And I want to say this though the support our black films, support those actors, and I'll say this. It started off you're gonna be it started off like wait, I wasn't ready. This is too quick. I like movies like that. Imagine dating someone you're all seen the commercials. Imagine dating someone in the first date. The fourth thing that happens is you get pulled over by the police and end up shooting the police. Just imagining. That's how you get to know somebody that makes you

want to log in. Girl, let me tell you what he did, how he protected me. You have to see the movie. She's a neat Ladies and Gentlemen. Little More talks about her addiction to opioids and shares it with her. I g follows. I applaud her. Can we give it up to her one time? I don't think people really understand how big this opioid problem. It's very big, you know.

And I was actually having a conversation with Portrait Williams and she was talking about she was on perks because she heard her foot and I was like, She's like, yeah, I got she was like on them. No know what I'm saying. She was on them prescribed for the pain. But I'm like, yo, she was telling me how they worked like she was feeling. I was like, yo, just be careful, please for me, drink a lot of water.

Do not get hooked on him, because I don't get how the people that get hooked on the perch Yeah, easy, like pain like my back. All right, we'll give you some perks. I had got all four my wisdom teeth took it at the same time. They definitely gave me some purse. Yeah, and I was jolly happy, going crazy. I couldn't do it. It It made me nauseous. It doesn't it makes me sick. Yeah, I couldn't do it. When I got my bosom teeth pulled, I took bills for one day. I felt amazing. See, I don't want to

hear that. Ferrari Simmons. I don't take anymore. I don't want you to feel amazing. That's the problem. Okay, children out there, say no the opioids. Ladies and gentlemen. Do you ever get pornographic messages on Instagram like don't look at my story if you don't want to masturbate? Well, I g have seen a spike in these fake accounts, commonly known as porn box. These fake accounts usually possess a name, name number. You know, you see those ones

we don't look how is this happening? Yeah? And then you see the attractive person on the Ya minory. Then you go to the page. I don't do that. That's what I heard. Most commonly, hard Flame or Peach emojis, what they link at random hours of the day or night. It all boils down to a business model known as affiliate marketing, which basically rewards you for every click and you get to bring in traffic to that secondary website. I just think that I'm tired of the porn box.

I'll be seeing them a little too much. I don't know if it's because when I'm on the road, I go to lesbian point videos that No, I don't know how tet you Rios, I know you have experienced on this subject. Rials, can you share with us? Why is it some algorithm because you go to porn site that it comes reels? How is this happening? I have no clue. I'm unaware about that. Ball Nation needs perspective. You, I know you and Caesar. I know you know Caesar was

in a Puerto Rico by himself. But then I saw some videos of you at the bar with the latest show. But what was that one of those was that Caesar Hey Bartsonder was on the other side twin on the screen. It was my twin. It wasn't me. Ladies and Gemen, speaking of bots, I am totally convinced that these reports that Julia Roberts speaking of want to play or it's going to play Harriet Tupman in a movie. It's absolute bullshit.

But I will say this, Viola Davis, the Legend, Viola Davis the Legend has basically jumped out there and you know said that, you know she is totally against it. And but she also said that Hollywood does things like the Hollywood stuff like that all the time. Okay, but when is the last time Hollywood has put Now they have done it, this is clear fact. But when is the last time they put a white woman? Is why does Julia Robbers to play a black woman as black

as hairy t me. I just want to know the movie. I need to know the movie. I think what it is like Harriet, Like, how dare you make the Russians Russian? You think it was the Russians causing divisiveness in the country. It was the Russia. We're talking about Trump's friends, the Russians or just Russians, Okay, because if it's Trump's friends the Russians, and it's Trump first and then he had the Russians help him do whatever, like finish it out.

But Viola Davis has been super vocal about her experiences as an African American woman in Hollywood. Like something that she pointed out before that that I never thought about was how she would go to a movie set or TV set and they would use white hairstylist and they don't know how to do black hair, so her hair, she would complain about her hair, her wigs, her makeup would be off, And I was like, damn, I didn't

even think of how it affected everybody. Makeup artist, stylists, like none of us can really get in there without you know, going through some stuff. Yeah. I just don't see how that someone can fix their mouth to say Julia Robert could play And actually I was wondering and actually Angelina Jolie played Marry and Pearl in a Mighty Heart in two thousand seven, which is a black woman. Who did that? Whoe? Robert Downey played a black guy in a movie. Um, I forgot to put movie though.

It was his face painting, face painting, but he pay Yeah, I'm talking about recently. Of course she's light skinned. But we don't have enough of this, Okay, Hollywood, they're talking about white snow white Julia robbers in black Black. They want to write history. They want children in the future to think that, Yeah, I'm gonna tell my kids that was like that is not that that's funny so at all. No, no, no, no no, but but but that's what they're trying to

do to us. They're trying to rewrite our history. They're taking our heroes. They will erase you if you allow them. They will erase you. Speaking of I race you and to your point, um Susan about another powerful Hollywood um organization called Times Up and Moving, founded by powerful women in Hollywood. They released a statement and support of Gabriel Union because we all have heard by now that she's having problems. I'm sorry, I had problems, got fired from

America's Got Talent. It all stemmed from her saying exactly what you were saying about Viola Davis's statement about her hair and the way she looked, and things that they wanted to comments racist comments that she asked, man is meant to tell the hierarchy about and they didn't, and then also having a problem with Simon smoking openly on set.

So um, yeah, this this, this time's up. The labored her difficult, very powerful in Hollywood, like that's what they do any I feel like black women have a really hard time just being vocal without being stereotyped as difficult or having a bad attitude or whatever the cases. We don't know Gariel Union to be like like she's not that person. To write her off as difficult, it's just shows like this is what we go through. It's so it's so much more harder for for it's so much

more difficult for black women, and it's it's sad. Yeah, it's sad. And I think that they need to sue the shoot out them people because at the end of the day, this is a human being that is not known to be disruptive to get out of pocket even you know what I'm saying, They have any black judges anymore now, I don't know. There's always you know, there's always one. And that's a problem as well, Like there's other people that are well qualified exactly. So that's just

a fucking whole thing. Ladies and gentlemen. Whack one hundred jumps all the way out there um by himself and says that Nipsey Hustle is not a legend rappers like t I Meek Male Mustard. A whole lot of people on social media have come to the defense of the recently. Was very uh uh inaccurate, he said it was, so it was so ignorant. First of all, it's like the man is dead. If he grew a million follows after his death, that makes him more of a legend. Correct,

So how how do you it is? I mean it's and then if you read the definition, which tips are eloquently released, everything that it stated represented who Nipsey was well, was like trying to just say you can only be a legend if you've got this many hits, you've gone on these tours and all that. But is a legend because of things that he did outside of the music industry, like what he was doing for the community. How he

really inspired a massive group of people. So, I don't know, I feel like maybe back one hundred might got some something else going on. I think it's all clickbait at this point, use a gangster use in the streets. Are you speaking on that? How are you even out here talking about that? Why that man did speaking of a legendo? Y'all want to share this with y'a because y'all of my family. Uh did he sent out uh invite for the did it fifty and I just wanted to share

and share this with y'all. Is one of my favorite models of all time. Did the voice, so we listen to this Here Ollo his name We Campbell perfect sister, and I'm here to officially invite you to the didd fifty. We know we canceled twice already, but this time it's really happening. So you better be there because we are celebrating my process fifty at the fucking universday. That's right now. You know, we can't throw add party without a few ground rules. So rule number one, if you're not going

Number three, Bring your highest vibration. Never rempare to celebrate with love. See you guys in the fourty. Yes, Naomi Campbell does the voice mail to classic Yeah, did fit is coming y'all? Uh later, John, I want to share this with you'all. This is very

disturbing um for me. M. Apparently ICE arrest foreign students in fake university sting operation and you know, people are calling it very cruel and appalling. I mean to think that you're gonna set up this is what happened. The Department of Homeless Security created a university in Michigan called the University of Farmington, which promised students to a pay to stay student visa, and it was all a scam.

The sting operation has now drawn heavy criticism from people who are already against ICE, and many critics blamed Donald Trump. Although the program begin doing forever President Obama's term. Now this is where it gets tricky, right, So this started in Obama's term, right, Um, we've all seen it ratchet up as far as ICE running into neighborhoods, terrorizing immigrants. Um, and to actually create a fake university to trap immigrants,

I don't, I don't know. You know, they said it's starting, They said it started in the old under the Obama present stuff. Okay, but this is my thing. I don't think that that is a bad way to catch a criminal or catch someone that is here illegally. If if I'm saying, you know, if if my job is to find the person responsible or find the person that's guilty, or find the person that's doing something that's not supposed to.

That's their job to do that. Now. I will say that's kind of amazing to me now with all the rhetoric that comes along with ICE right and the unfair way that a lot of people are being treated by ICE now because obviously if it started under the Obama administration, it wasn't publicly known. It was kind of stealth and

kind of maybe putting. Maybe they have a certain thing in Michigan is the you know, supposedly the University of Farmington, which there's a farming team Hills in suburbia, um, Michigan and so outside of Detroit. So I'm just trying to figure out, like, is it is it smart? It's wrong? It is it is so smart? Wrong or not? That's the world smart. It's slit, yes, slick. It's definitely ethically wrong,

it's morally wrong. It's messed up. I wish they would put that much energy into finding these people that snatching black women up. Tell us come on, like you worried about immigrants that want to go to school, so they as a trap to they want to go to school. Like if people started under this, I mean, clearly the sex traffick image, I would have rather you said, hey, we got a whole bunch of minor girls available for your pleasures, and all the perverts come over. But somebody

going to school. I don't know what is going I'm saying, you know what I'm saying, right, if that's a conversation. But I'm saying that if Obama did steerhead this, if the Obama administration, I don't Bama himself, President Obama, if he did, is it as egregious if he did it, or Trump's shut down on it? It's wrong on whoever did it? Okay, So Obama would have been wrong for creating this trap for illegal immigrants. For sure, it's wrong.

I mean, maybe what was the goal? The goal was, No, it's it's cruel and appalling the way that ICE is treating immigrants today. I don't know about this program under the Obama administration. And I'm not gonna say that there are people that rape, killing, murder that are are immigrants, are not immigrants. And I'm saying, what if there was something happening in Michigan. This is happening in Michigan. This is a specific, isolated event where people could sign up

and they were trying to catch someone in specific. I mean their job is to catch the one out of the bunch, right, the needle in the haystack. I don't see that being weird. I think if we can get offended about the stopping for a score, like they can stop you whenever they want, then in random traffic stops, we should also take that same offense into how they just play these people to come to this face, you

have an absolute point. It's the same thing. I just saw a fer with a new daughter watch on them sor I mean friend it was. It was kind of hurt in the corner. Mine what's going on here? I don't understand ladies and gentlemen. Kid Rock says fuck Oprah Winfrey at his bar Honkey Talk, and although people in the audience called him a racist, Rock said, because he doesn't like someone doesn't mean he's a racist, and that it's true that that statement is true. Just because you

don't like someone doesn't mean that you're racist. But why don't you like them? But when you got a bor like hockey talk, it's kind of hard to imagine that you are not racist. It's it's a little hard to imagine. This is a bigger question y'all, And I wanted to use the former legend in my eyes, Kid Rock as the example. You're are your white friends different since Trump has been in office? This is a very important question because I will lead off by saying, and I hope

all of them here this. My white friends are different now that Trump is an office mind and there's no cat you think they walk in with like a little you know, like a little extra they chest like the guys. Are they not like talking to you very much? Or has the conversation changed? The support has the subcrease board has decreased. Support from the time spent has decreased On my side, I have lost sponsorships or not given sponsorships

from based off of my views on Donald Trump. Really, yeah, that's that's what company's particularly behind saying I will have too much attention. But why why is that? If you seriously, if you don't think Donald Trump is a horrible person, I don't know what to think about you or if I want your business? Is he a horrible person or is he really just playing a person? Horrible person? You can't okay, this is one thing you cannot do kids away from their parents. But if you're if you're a

cultural leader. If you are a leader of men, a leader of people. You have a leader of women, leader of people, and you literally spew the rhetoric he does with no remorse, you cannot be a good human. He's not he is not. I mean he he not only does it, he doubled downs on it. Melania blink twice. If you need help, she got you. But like a Trump supporter. But this is my point about kid Rock. Kid Rock, he comes from the hip hop culture. He

was birthed of the hip hop culture. But don't they don't They always use us for something or you know, use us until they don't need us anything. But he was toldly in like I remember him being in. Not he was in because it was the boy got in, his boy got in and yeah, and now he doesn't have anything. I always had the sweeth Holme Alabama song too. That's one of the best biggest records of all time,

getting paid forever of all that song. But it's just, I mean, it's just I don't know if I would go all the way with a little Trump boy, Trump said, footing Alabaila boy to go Christion point, I wouldn't go all the way out there and say he was a racist unless he said something racist, and you don't have to like he says. Also, he didn't like Joey Behar wasn't well. He said that when he was I guess either asked to come on Oprah show that they asked him to write down three or four things that he

likes or loves about Oprah. And I don't know. I don't know if that's true what I'm saying right, So, um, I don't know, but just not liking somebody of the opposite race doesn't really make you a racist. Facts. And now we're from our sponsors and now time for baller man hey ba alert to him. So I've been talking to this guy for a few months and he recently

got out of a relationship before we started talking. But his ex has several diagnosed mental illnesses several She has threatened suicide several times, and she can't get over the fact that things will not work out between them. He has helped her seek out medical attention and counseling, but nothing is helping, and he doesn't want to abandon her and it's afraid she's going to kill herself. But it is deeply affecting us. Not only is it is it

affecting our relationship but also himself. He has been depressed and I am not sure what to do. I love this guy and we both see a future with each other, but his ex and her mental issues are really becoming an issue balla lert Crew. What should I do? That's kind of tell like, that's the mental health is real, and you don't want to assume that maybe she's doing that to stay around, because what if she's not? She's she really may be that it's important to get to

know people. I think in the beginning, because you end up with a Porsche Williams situation Kenya in her ex situation, hold on speaking to mental health. Did y'all see that? Do you see the way that they are is it the edit the way that they're making crazy? Okay, first of all, that Kenya has always come off what I'm the fact that she's sitting there with a dude that does not ignoring her, blatantly ignoring question. He like, totally

ignoring her, just talking to the baby. It's crazy, right, I Mean, if you saw like how they portrayed her in the past seasons, she did I'm off as somebody who has really wanted to be with someone. So now that she's married and has a child, it's almost like, look, I'm gonna take as much as I can take because this is what I wanted. I wanted a man and I wanted a baby. You know that that could cause some real damage to the child world, But that's the

same apportion her her fiance situation. She really wanted this family, and it's just like it's important, I think, to like really get to know you know who you having kids with, you know, because it's just like the monis and little fids like she is, she's really well at all. And back to your your your person that we're talking about that you know, you you have to be really mindful of the mental health thing. And I think there's some

curable things that you know, some balances, some are manageable. Great, great choice of words, but then there are others there's no help for. And I hate to say that, and I'm really I have to be super mindful because I know a lot of people that have mental issues and you try to help them and try to direct them and try to even suggest them getting help, and they don't want it. And so it's like, what do you

do at that point, So what should she do. I feel like, just because you break up with someone or you're no longer in an intimate relationship with them, it doesn't mean that you don't care about them. So of course, like he probably still feels like I was with this woman at once in my life. Let me let me help her. Maybe not responsible, but let me help her. So abandoning her quote unquote or walking away would probably really hurt him, But I don't know what that means

for his new relationship. I say responsible in the sense of, like, if she hurts herself, maybe he will feel guilty about you know, not That's why that's the purpose of why she was. She's trying to you know. I think he's a good person for wanting to make sure that he does as much as he can, But I think he also needs to reevaluate the situation to see is this

all I can do? Because if this is all I can offer and she's not getting better, then I do have to remove myself help her find the appropriate doctor or the appropriate situation. But he's getting depressed too, Yeah, it's it's depressing helping someone a lot. Yeah, to help him get over that, get over her. I feel guilty about leaving her. Yeah. Yeah, he definitely obviously feels the weight of them and he doesn't want her to hurt himself. Yeah, I said, you know, how long have they? Then? I

think there's a time limit. How old? How long? Was who the news? She has threatened to commit suicide several times, and he's helped her seacout, medical attention and counseling, but nothing is helping, and he doesn't want to abandon her. See that right there? I think for me, in my opinion, that's he's been above beyond a past. Definitely. Do you think she's telling him I will commit suicide if you don't X, Y and Z. Yeah, she's very welcome, been

there he said several times. Yes, that's committed. But my guy, like that's committable, Like you can't be responsible for someone's when she's being diagnosed, and and I and anyone out there in ball the nation listening, it's worth to try and help, clearly, but if you go months years, you know what I'm saying, with this effort and they're still doing that kind of stuff, like what can you possibly do? And now he's saying he's getting depressed you're falling into

the rabbit hole. You're falling into this state of like you know what I'm saying, where you might not be cool and okay. And I think that's when you have to be selfish in the relationship. You definitely want to help your mate. But when you're well being becomes you know what I'm saying, and you might not be okay. It's spreads spreading you because you come first, but she's spreading to him, and he could be spreading to whomever else and his family. So he needs to get help

to move on from the situation. I think mental health is a real thing, balling nation, and y'all have to be mindful but also responsible and more importantly aware that you know what I'm saying, of what the surroundings too, because when you get locked into this, I mean, you know how much toxicity brings. It brings other negative things and people. When your bodily functions starts to be all

out of whack, it's not good skin, hair, everything. Now it's time for a word for my sponsors, and now's time for comment creeping all right, So this comment actually spoke to my heart because I do this all the time. I literally do this all the time. So Van Lathan, hey man, he said, read sweet if you're black, and watch lips to see which non black sing the IN word when you're in a club or concert, like if this a ridiculously fun game. I swear I do it all the time. I'm at I'm at the club, I'm

at Sunday Branch of Traffic, I'm at a concert. I will watch all the non blacks. And I don't do exactly what he does, but he said, this is my life. I make bets with myself on who will do it. When someone skips the word, I give myself forty acres when they say it, I give myself a mule. Right now. I love that. Right now I have eighty acres and one mule. Let's see how things go. And our favorite girl, bad Girl, read Rihanna. She said, I feel attacked, and

Van responded, of course, we love you. I always feel attacked when I see that happening. And it's certain promoters you know out here in Atlanta that always have a big group of others, you know, with them, And when I'm around, I will watch the others and they're always singing the N word. And I have actually addressed it with one of the promoters, and he told me, Sue, chill, it's okay, relax, they're cool, they don't mean no harm. I've offended, now, this one ain't. This is his friend.

This is his friend that that I approached. I mean, I I just I was highly offended. And I went to you to tell you, hey, can you tell this not black girl to stop saying that in word because I'm gonna throw something at her if she says it again. And then you tell me to chill. Black man told me to chillip clip like, come on, sir, you know what. I'm glad you brought that up. It's a problem. I'm glad you brought that up because this is a bigger

topic and I think we should address it right now. Yes, please. We always talking about as a people, as a coach, as a race, We're always talking about the things that other people do to offend us. But we are partly responsible for the reason they say the things they say. In this particular case, Susan is making a valid and great point. She's talking to a promoter. Mind you never

mind you promoters right, it's really a few of them. Okay, So there's a white girl or other in the section, they're saying a lyric in a song that a black man put in position put into song. So this is what I think is the ultimate problem, and this is where we as a society. If that bothers us that much, why don't we put in the songs? Why we got to censor ourselves for these folks? Why they can't respect that?

That's not your word to say. We we always are the ones that are modifying this, And do we we always censor ourselves for them? Is it censoring yourself? We censor, we we fold, we mold, we we change, We always do stuff to make them comfortable. Hey, stop stop saying the N word. It's not for you to say stop by their own ship. So use the word nigger as much as you want, I'm saying us. I mean, yeah, yeah,

express yourself, yes, expressional people. You don't say the word as much as I used to older, as I got in, I don't say it as much as I I'm glad you said that different words now because I disagree. I think for us, the reason we do things it's psychological as well, like we from past history, from how we were treated, and so for us to double down on the negative meaning of something that does hurt us. It

really does hurt us. If we continue to perpetuate in the older I get to feraris point the more I don't even want to be on the same never mind you it slips, I say it. You know what I'm saying, even you know, like cursing, Like I don't want to curse all the time, but sometimes mother, you know, and it so so I don't know what I want to I want to be more responsible in my offering as a mature adult, trying to build a legacy for my family, and not the saying anything you want to say. It's

not your right, it is totally your right. But I'm saying, if we are the gatekeepers of our culture, of our offerings, why not I will say that why? I mean, people say for us, A lot of people aren't that mature. And you know, you know, it's a young game in the music industry, like a lot of black people, you know, come up young and they want to express yourself in But we talked about pills and getting high. I mean, but we are we are the we're probably probably the

worst to ourselves. Of course that's been that way. But you know what that's gonna keep me in that way his moneys in the folds. It can't. Okay, So you're saying if you and no one wrapped about I'm sorry if no one said lean pills. We uh talked about massagey when it comes to women, or the massagies when it comes to women, talking about sex taking whatever whatever it is you think that sales, right, But this is my thing. We're so creative, we could come up with

whatever we could. But but that's not It's just like you blue Face arguing with the Meek Mills artists about having a chain. We can't take him serious. He has a Benjamin first, but that's a part of what's selling. But if we created, do you not hear what I'm saying? Okay, tell me. That's like in the radio world, it's not very easy getting your song out there, right. Isn't there

someone who chooses, Okay, this song is gonna work. This is gonna because if that was the case, conscious rappers will be But I'm saying, I'm saying, before it even gets to that, there's somebody that approved certain songs and says, Okay, this is what we're gonna put out and typically it's gonna be the others that are in the said, does not do that anymore. Radio plays the worst ship on the planet. That's what I'm saying. But to her point though,

she's asking, like, doesn't it go through a gate keeper? No, it goes to him and it goes on there, or it goes to the music director. What's am I right? Run? Yeah. The thing that we do though, we try to make sure we gauge what's trending, so research, you know, though streaming really but look what you're talking about. It's selling, That's what I'm saying. The clubs, it's streaming high. You need at it. But that's what I'm saying. Radio works

through research. Their research was hot, and then they play it. Man, y'all, I can't wait for I can't wait for y'all to get my get to this level of life. No, I agree, No, I really can't because I'm gonna tell you, y'all really have the power. And the problem is that we become part of the problem when we continue to double down. Our music is so fucking negative. Like even if you if you went back to n w A, that's a great example in w A said the police. I mean.

But they also said, you know, brother got it bad because Bryant like coming from underground, young brother got back like. They said things that were super conscious in their prospective hoods. They glorified their neighborhoods. But even thinking back then, they talk about gang ship. This is a gang and you know what I'm saying, this is the game the right, left, right, they say bloods of crips. Okay, but this is my point, this is Snoop is a genius. I love him. I'm

thankful for his contribution. I was a part of all of that. I'm saying as a mature and thoughtful adult looking at it at the landscape, you're a two year old. You do you want her to really do what these girls are doing. I don't, but I'm aware that it's possibly she's going to be influenced. I'm want to make sure I'm there as much as possible. The music at would you not try to implement things that are not

a little bit more? I don't know. The thing is I mean control his show, you know, but the overall say so is the program director and they are the ones who put the music on. So it's like, even if Rory don't want to play certain music. If it's on the list, it's getting played. Okay, great, So y'are just gonna continue with the strip of culture and pill popping and they are. I agree with you. I don't really curse that much. I don't any that's just but

and I agree with you. But as long as money is in the fold, I feel like it's still gonna keep happening. We got changing narrative, bro. I'm just saying, like you go back to they all had a real message and we're screaming for help and trying to better the situation. This generation just wants to get up and get high or fuck and count money. That is not real life. That is not real life, and it's disgusting.

And then we wonder why the white girls, who like the black boys or the Persians or whatever else is in this who he's talking about the other they taking, I mean, they they adopting culture and and saying nickel, they only doing what they see two, they're only doing what they see us do. More importantly, it's a young man's game. It's a young person's game, and you know it's easy to influence the young people. So of course

they're gonna like that. And there's the they're the ones that's, you know, creating the research in which what we play. All right, we're gonna agree to disagree right now and table this conversation and now time fucking fucious. Say everyone knows that my wife is the body's light in my life. Um And she posted this by an unknown on her Instagram account. Yeah you que But do you like nature stars, holistic health, evolution, universe peace, compassion in raising consciousness, falling nation?

This thoughts ship has to come doing it. I'm gonna need you to go out there and read a book and try to find the alternative. We love him, God, blesh. The dream was real. It's the bottom of that show. How hard mind you? We don't hit Nick, you know what I'm talking about. We got father people. They heard you in Florida, Roery, they heard you in cal oh Man. We're out here. How you doing? Because the dream it's real
